Scientific and other users with an interest in historic GPS data should visit the NERC British Isles GPS archive Facility (BIGF) www.bigf.ac.uk, which is operated by the IESSG at the University of Nottingham. BIGF archives all OS active station data, along with data from other continuous GPS stations in the UK, and holds data that goes back as far as 1997 for some stations.

OS Net reference station coordinate listing. This link opens up a comma delimited text file (15 KB) of ETRS89 coordinates of all OS Net stations, current and superceded. Coordinates are given as both cartesian (X, Y, Z) and geodetic (Lat, Long, Height). The OSGB36 National Grid km square reference is also given.

The 'current' receiver and antenna types for any data supplied are included in the RINEX headers (and can be seen using any standard text editor). For more details on a particular station, including a history of any changes in the receiver and antenna types, IGS-style station log files for all OS Net stations are available via NERC BIGF athttp://www.bigf.ac.uk/station_logs.htm.

Small changes to the Active station RINEX format since late July 2005 may effect a small number of users reading RINEX files. View more information.
